Any resemblance to anything is purely out of imagination and wishful thinking xDDD ***   Chapter 65: Soo Yi blows up   *4told had just finished performing their newest song on stage of a popular music program ... the staffs and hoobaes-on-stand-by greeted them and congratulated them on a successful performance which the members returned cheerfully ... but despite it all ... their maknae, the one who was supposed to be the most cheerful and hyperactive of them all, was obviously forcing her smile and faking her energy ... of course, her unnis know all about it ... ESPECIALLY the reason why ...   hoobae group: congratulations on your comeback stage, sunbae! (bows to them) 4told: thank you! (smiles) lea: goodluck on your performance! fighting! hoobae group: thank you very much! 4told: (enters their waiting room)  yoon ju: (smile immediately disappears) ya, soo yi-ah! ... soo yi: (flinches - snaps out of her daze) !! yoon ju: just what the heck is wrong with you? moon: (mumbles) as if you dont know, unni ... soo yi: (bites her lower lip) yoon ju: AISH!!! even when im not seeing that girl (sherina), she pisses me off!! ... soo yi-ah, this can't do ... we have to do something ...  soo yi: what do you mean, unni? yoon ju: you cant stay like this forever! ... we have to do something about that girl, somehow ... she's ruining everything! ... even soo yi, who's usually so cheerful, has been reduced to ... (eyes soo yi from head to toe) this ... its miserable! ... and pathetic, i cant stand to see it! soo yi: (lowers her head - guilty) lea: well, what do you propose we do, leader? yoon ju: i dont know yet, it'll come in time ... (clenches her fist) but seriously! i really dont know what i'd do when i see that girl again ... AISH! (ruffles her own hair) so frustrating!!   *even though this conversation was obviously of a negative kind, soo yi didnt have the courage to oppose ... no matter how much she denied it, it was still there: the fact that she was losing to sherina and the fact that she was disappearing from taemin's eyes, taemin's life ... it haunted her more than she had expected and was changing her in a way that, even she, couldnt understand or believe ...    SOO YI'S INNER MONOLOGUE soo yi: (trembling) i-i get yoon ju unni's point ... i do! ... b-but ... why? ... why cant i stop myself from being like this?! ... w-why cant i get it out of my mind? why is this happening to me?! ... am i being a bad person for thinking like this? is it my fault that i feel this way?   END OF INNER MONOLOGUE   *that night, SHINee had a special performance at a university ... sherina was invited by taemin and SHINee to come and watch ... of course, she agreed ...   ku mi: ah! dont move, onew ... (applying eye liner on onew) onew: (giggles) sorry ... soo jin: kyaaaa~! aigoooo! taeminnie, you look so handsome!! (fixing his collar) taemin: e-errr ... (fakes a smile) t-thanks noona ... this is like ... the FIFTH time i've had this on for a performance though ... soo jin: yeah! i knew that! (giggles and runs her hand up his arm) i'm just saying you look good in it everytime ... taemin: (shudders at her gesture and discreetly backs away) ku mi: (copies soo jin's high pitched tone) "i'm just saying you look good in it everytime~" ... yuck! (fakes gagging)  onew: (laughs) soo jin: ah! kibummie! let me help you with that (trying hard aegyo - walks over to him to help him with his hair) key: (scowls in distaste)   *sherina arrived at the backstage area soon after ... she had on a special pass that taemin had given her earlier on ... she nervously walked through the hallways, looking for SHINee's waiting room as she was instructed to go straight there when she arrived ... it took all of her will power not to squeal like the crazy fangirl that she is when she passed by some of the idol groups that were there ... finally though, she came to the door that was labelled 'SHINee' ...   sherina: (breathes in then out) ... (knocks on the door) jonghyun: (opens it and immediately beams) sherina! sherina: h-hello ... (shy smile) soo jin: (sees sherina enter and immediately frowns in disgust) taemin: (runs up to her - smiling) hi sherina ... sherina: (smiles back) hello, taemin ... i'm here ...   *during the hours that SHINee was waiting for their turn to perform, the SHINee hyungs noticed that sherina was almost stuck onto taemin, following him around like a duckling with a cute pout on her face ...   onew: uhhhhh ... why is sherina clinging onto taemin like a baby koala to her umma koala? key: urgh ... (rolls his eyes) it ridiculous, really ... basically, this is taemin's condition for forgiving sherina about not telling him about the MB Media thing ... i think its something like sherina has to grant him three wishes ... jonghyun: (giggles) ahhh ... so making her stick close to him is the first? daebak! i never knew our maknae had it in him! minho: (just grinning widely while watching the cute couple)     sherina: geeez ... do i really have to do it like this, taemin? (whines while holding onto the hem of taemin's shirt) taemin: (smirks) well, if you dont want to be forgiven, you can just stop ... sherina: no! no, i'll do it! taemin: (laughs then pats her head) i would've asked you to hug me if it werent for all t
